In the beginning I was a bit confused but once I caught on--

What an interesting read about what could have happened in heaven before the earth and all it's inhabitants were created. It is the story of Lucifer and how he fell from grace taking many angels with him---using logic, persuasion and lies. There is an interesting take on the Adam and Eve story as well.

The love story between two of the angels is one for the ages.

David Burnett is definitely one of my favorite authors-there hasn't been a book of his I haven't ultimately enjoyed.

NEW RELEASE

One war….

Opposing sides…

It’s a recipe for heartbreak.

In a war that pits Lucifer against the Army of Heaven, it’s a recipe for disaster.

The lives of Adryel and Ramael, two young angels who are in love, are altered forever when God determines to create humans.

His decision is met with scorn from Lucifer, one of the archangels. The humans, he asserts, will cause evil and chaos throughout creation. God’s proposal, he says, is flawed. As Lucifer debates the plan’s merits with another archangel in Palace Square, their discussion turns into argument.

Argument leads to insults, rocks are thrown… and battle lines are drawn.

Ramael is second in command of the Army of Heaven. His loyalty never waivers.

Adryel casts her lot with Lucifer. Swayed by his arguments, she leaves Ramael and all else she holds dear. She wages war for Lucifer’s cause and, refusing to renounce him, is exiled in hell.
From there, she tempts the humans to join their cause.

Adryel yearns to tell Ramael her love for him has not dimmed. She will risk any punishment, even hell’s lake of fire, in order to speak with him. But how can he return her love when she has done more to thwart God’s plans for humanity than have all of the other angels in hell combined?

David Burnett lives in Columbia South Carolina, with his wife and their blue-eyed cat, Bonnie. The Reunion, his first novel, is set in nearby Charleston.

David enjoys traveling, photography, baking bread, and the Carolina beaches.
He has photographed subjects as varied as prehistoric ruins on the islands of Scotland, star trails, sea gulls, a Native American powwow, and his grandson, Jack. David and his wife have traveled widely in the United States and the United Kingdom. During one trip to Scotland, they visited Crathes Castle, the ancestral home of the Burnett family near Aberdeen. In The Reunion, Michael's journey through England and Scotland allows him to sketch many places they have visited.

David has graduate degrees in psychology and education and previously was Director of Research for the South Carolina Department of Education. He and his wife have two daughters.

This book sounds temptingly interesting. For Adryel to give in to Lucifer so easily what strength is her love and what does she ultimately do to get her way??? I'd like to find that out. I've been building a list although I don't read often. This does sound captivating, those are the books I like so good you can't give them up for much, grandchildren and potty breaks maybe.

I've never read anything by this author before but with the way you've describe this story, I'd really like to now! It sounds like a page turner that may keep me up until I finish it. :) Thanks for introducing me to a new author.
